Writing TEST for Trigger

Last week I worked on my first trigger - I got some help here on finishing it but now I am lost on how to test it. So far all I have done is created two accounts with which I think I need to create a partnership and then a task to test, but I am not sure how to go about this. Most of what I have is based on "how-tos" and the structure of other triggers; I'm not a developer by trade but I am trying to learn. I'm not looking for the work to be done (though I wouldn't turn it down) as much as I am looking for a starting point...

 

Any help is greatly appreciated.

Trigger:

trigger JWGetAssociations on Task (after insert, after update) {
if(FutureTriggerController.isFutureUpdate != true){

FutureTriggerController.isFutureUpdate =true;
Map<Id, Id> TaskToAccountMap = new Map<Id, Id>();
Map<Id, Id> AcctToPartnerMap = new Map<Id, Id>();
Map<Id, Account> PartnerResponseMap = new Map<Id, Account>();
List<Task> tListToBeUpdated = new List<Task>();
for(Task jwtask : [SELECT Id, AccountID FROM Task WHERE ID in: trigger.new]){
TaskToAccountMap.put(jwtask.id, jwtask.AccountId);
}

list <Id> partner1 = new list <Id>();
for(Partner partner : [SELECT Id, AccountToId, AccountFromId FROM Partner WHERE AccountFromId in: TaskToAccountMap.values()]){

AcctToPartnerMap.put(partner.AccountToId , partner.AccountToId);
}
for(Account part : [SELECT Id, Name FROM Account WHERE ID in: AcctToPartnerMap.values()]){
PartnerResponseMap.put(part.ID, part);
}

for(Task o : trigger.new){
Id acctid = TaskToAccountMap.get(o.Id);
list <String> partnerAcc = new list <String>();
for( id Accid : AcctToPartnerMap.keyset()){
Account acc = PartnerResponseMap.get(Accid);
partnerAcc.add(acc.Name+'\n');
partnerAcc.add('\n\n');
}
for(integer i=0;i<partnerAcc.size();i++){
}
Task t = new task(Id = o.Id);
if(t.jw_Associated_Distributors__c == null){
t.jw_Associated_Distributors__c = '';
for(integer i=0;i< partnerAcc.size();i++){
t.jw_Associated_Distributors__c += partnerAcc[i];
}
}
tListToBeUpdated.add(t);
}
if(tListToBeUpdated.size()>0){
upsert tListToBeUpdated;
}
}
}

 FutureTriggerController class code: 

public class FutureTriggerController{
public static boolean isFutureUpdate = false;
}

 

Thus far; my test class looks like this. I know it's far from done and I am not sure if I am even starting off right.

@isTest  
private class testClass_Trigger{  
      private static TestMethod void JWGetAssociations(){  
         Account jwacct1 = new Account(name='TestAccount1');
            insert jwacct1;
         Account jwacct2 = new Account(name='TestAccount2');
            insert jwacct2;
    }  
  
  
}

Write this and let me know how much it is covering.

 

@isTest
private class testClass_Trigger{
private static TestMethod void JWGetAssociations(){
Account jwacct1 = new Account(name='TestAccount1');
insert jwacct1;
Account jwacct2 = new Account(name='TestAccount2');
insert jwacct2;
Task t = new Task();
t.Subject = 'Email';
t.WhatId = jwacct1.Id;
t.Status = 'Not started';
t.Priority = 'Normal';
insert t;
}


}

Covered 79%


If I am not mistaken, that's good enough, correct? If so, I have to say that looks a lot simpler/smaller than I thought it would have had to been.

 

Thank you souvik!

Yes, minimum code coverage you need is 75%. So you are good in this.

Thank you again Souvik. One thing you've just taught me is while a solution may seem to simple to bother trying; try it anyway!
